Detailed itinerary

Main activities

The vehicle and tour guide will pick up guests at designated meeting points such as the airport, railway station, or hotels, then depart for Phong Nha.
The group will receive an introduction to the Phong Nha Cave Complex and the Survival Valley area, which spans 2,000 ha. Detailed information regarding the trekking itinerary, essential safety regulations, and a tour briefing will be provided. In addition, guests will prepare their equipment and join in a warm-up session before commencing the trek.
The group will trek through the primeval jungle and traverse rugged rocky terrains along a distance of approximately 3 km. Along the trail, visitors will immerse themselves in breathtaking natural landscapes featuring rolling mountain ranges and winding streams. Notably, the group will discover a diverse cave system, including Hang Vang and Hang E, celebrated for their untouched, pristine beauty.
The expedition arrives at Hang Vang, stops for light refreshments, and readies caving equipment prior to beginning cave exploration. The journey takes the group 600 m deep into Hang Vang, home to an exceptional system of moss-covered stalactites and stalagmites found in only a handful of caves across the Phong Nha - Ke Bang region. Inside, visitors can admire majestic formations sparkling like gold dust, along with terraced rimstone pools and stunning cave pearls, creating a magnificent spectacle of nature.
Here, the group takes a restful break and captures souvenir photographs amidst the splendid cave scenery. Afterwards, everyone prepares for lunch and unwinds before continuing the adventure.
A pre-arranged lunch featuring dishes well suited for outdoor picnics will be served, offering both high nutrition and convenience. Following lunch, you are free to relax, unwind, and soak in the surrounding natural atmosphere.
Visitors have the opportunity to paddle SUPs or swim approximately 1 km deep inside the cave to unveil its enigmatic beauty. Exciting water activities continue near the cave entrance, including swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling to observe cave fish. Guests can also unwind by reading, sunbathing on elongated floats, or engaging in leisure games such as water volleyball and water gun games, ensuring delightful and refreshing moments amidst nature.
The group continues trekking through the forest along a 3 km trail across Survival Valley. The path leads guests back to the departure point on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, concluding this rewarding expedition.
Upon completing the trek, the group enjoys a celebratory beverage. The vehicle will transfer guests back to Dong Hoi, where the tour guide bids farewell and looks forward to welcoming you on future journeys.
